Following on from their fabulous Michael Jackson effort, the folks at Shoothill have surpassed themselves with a DZ using photos of previous BB contestants.
To be honest there’s a few faces on here I didn’t need to be reminded of.
Prize for the 1st person to name them all below….

Less than 2 weeks to go now till I head down to the south of France for the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.
The organisers have done a great job with the agenda, attracting the likes of Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, Ridley Scott, Ben Stiller and a host of advertising gods like Sir Martin Sorrell and Rory Sutherland.
Microsoft Advertising will be there in force – we sponsor the event – and I’ll be running around with my esteemed colleagues – Colm Bracken and Kelley Myers – filming, blogging, photographing, tweeting and, hopefully, getting the chance to imbibe some quality rose wine.
This video, from our Microsoft Advertising YouTube Channel, sets the scene nicely, with an interview with Cannes Lions CEO Phil Thomas and a look back to last year when we managed to get an insightful chat with Biz Stone from Twitter and many, many others.
Keep an eye on the Microsoft Advertising Blog, our Flickr feed and our dedicated Cannes Lions 2010 site which will be fed with all the news and views from the festival.
Follow us on Twitter too!

Couldn’t resist sharing this warning on the back of my #OhSoHealthy brazil nuts:
“This product is packed in a factory where nuts and sesame seeds are handled”
Saw this ad on the train last night.
Toshiba will basically refund the cost of certain TVs if England bring home the World Cup from South Africa.
Clever marketing ploy or just an obvious lack of faith in our boys without Beckham?
Was sent this by Chris Frost a while ago.
I hadn’t seen it, even though it’s from the same team that brought you Photosynth which I’ve demoed a thousand times.

Just been told that the Icelandic volcano that’s causing so much trouble for flights in and out of the UK, was under a glacier we visited last year!
We were in Reykjavik for an internet marketing conference and our gracious hosts NordicEMarketing took us on a 4×4 trip into the icy wilderness.

A wider perspective
That’s us all on a bridge that doesn’t exist an more!
Fffffrightening stuff!!
Just got back from India and loved this ad at the baggage claim carousel at Bangalore (Bengaluru) Airport.
For the short-sighted, the strap line says “Just how much did you miss your daughter?”
We spotted a number of witty marketing goings on – Ashley and I were attending a friends wedding – although the fake gear below could do with an overhaul given the gushing nature of the brand faux pas!
The thighs are aching, the knees are creaking and I can’t stop eating, but at least I finished in one peice!
Thanks to everyone who sponsored me to run the Human Race 1/2 marathon around Dorney Lake yesterday.
I was most touched by your generosity towards my chosen charity – National Association for Children of Alcoholics
I was even more touched by the stories many of you told of how you’d wished a charity like that had been around when you were growing up.
£590 so far is then doubled to nearly £1200!
Not too late to help either: http://www.justgiving.com/melcarson2
As you can tell from the video, my wife Ashley was on hand for some fantastically enthusiastic support, and you can see from my bewildered face at the end that I never in a million years thought I was going to break 2 hrs 30 mins.
So satisfactory job all around.
Now for a bit of a rest and a think about my next challenge!
Any ideas?
This raised a smile this morning. Spotted just outside our offices.
Now then, now then!
…..who obviously hasn’t seen the news yet.
